Techniques for echo cancellation in an RFID reader include incorporating an auxiliary error power amplifier (auxiliary PA) into the RFID reader, and dynamically adjusting a bias setting of the auxiliary PA based on a power level of a reflection of a signal transmitted by the RFID reader (“echo signal”) as measured at the RFID reader. When the measured echo signal power level is high, techniques herein set the auxiliary PA bias setting to a higher level to allow the auxiliary PA to account for the stronger echo signal. Inversely, when the measured echo signal power is low, techniques herein set the auxiliary PA bias setting to a lower level to reduce power consumption while the enabling the RFID reader to cancel echo phenomena and reliably detect signal responses from RFID tags in an environment.
A workstation captures images of illuminated symbols with a solid-state imager. In an embodiment, the workstation includes a camera module in the workstation away from the imager. The camera module captures a secondary image through a window. The captured image of the illuminated symbol and the captured secondary image are independently processed.

Adaptive Biasing Procedure to Increase PA Efficiency in RFID Readers
Techniques for improving energy efficiency of a Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) reader are described herein. A power control algorithm controlling a power amplifier of the RFID reader adjusts a bias setting of the power amplifier at different time periods during operation of the RFID reader. Particularly, in aspects, the power control algorithm biases the power amplifier at a first bias setting during a first time period when the RFID reader transmits a modulated continuous waveform conveying information to RFID tags in an environment, and biases the power amplifier at a second, different bias setting during a second time period when the RFID reader transmits an unmodulated continuous waveform. By adjusting to the second bias setting, the power control algorithm improves energy/power efficiency of the RFID reader during the second time period, thereby extending the single-charge lifetime of the RFID reader when implemented as a battery powered unit.
